Dublin’s dominance of the gaelic football landscape generated plenty of debate following their one-sided semi-final win over Cavan while a ruthless Mayo dashed Tipp's dreams of a Sam Maguire Cup final appearance...

Having been centrally involved in getting the funding to strengthen #gaa in Dublin, which @Dubs_gaa has used brilliantly, I can say ‘mission accomplished’, so why continue with the mission ?? Time for new mission - help other counties before it’s too late! #dubvcav @officialgaa

Pat Gilroy and Andy McEntee share their views on the question of whether splitting Dublin is a solution to the dominance debate #RTEGAA @RTE2 @RTEplayer pic.twitter.com/39Ij5i7IQ6

Agree with many of the sentiments expressed by Pat Gilroy on the Sunday Game tonight. That’s where the discussion needs to head.

Impossible to debate the complexity of GAA structures in a programme like this. Bigger worry is how difficult it is to effect real change. GAA democracy means too many masters to be served. #SundayGame

I was looking forward to listening to it, genuinely thought it would be a good discussion. I was very wrong!

For a very intelligent man this was dire stuff.. If you heard it in the local you’d be making for the door. #SundayGame #GAA https://t.co/LjnQd0jDgp

Mayo have been great the last x amount of years ... according to mr gilroy it’s because they have a great county board 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What really was the point in having those fellas on? Offered no stats, no ideas, just two big confused heads on them. #thesundaygame

This is a very awkward Sunday game segment 🙈

Respect where due, @CILL14N is top class, over 30 championship goals, phenomenal stat. Sets up a cracker of a final all debates aside!

— Bernard Brogan (@bernardbrogan) December 6, 2020

Well done Pat Spillane - 3-5Kpeople in Croke Park is like a pimple on an Elephant’s ass.
Family’s / Friends those close to teams should be allowed attend AI final. FOC. @RTE @SkySportsGAA need to play their part.

Dubs will go to town on this mayo defence on todays evidence

— Paddy Bradley (@PaddyB14) December 6, 2020

If he stays healthy there won’t be a chance anyone gets near Cillian o connor in the scoring charts ever.

— Joe sheridan (@Squarecut84) December 6, 2020

This type of ruthlessness is what Mayo must bring to the final. They have been excellent in front of the posts.

— Steven McDonnell (@StevenMcD13) December 6, 2020

Masterclass so far from Cillian. Typical Horan display - deserves huge credit in their prep. High press, intensity and efficiency top class.

— Alan Dillon (@Alan_Dillon) December 6, 2020

Cillian O Connor is relentless, tackling/fouling, kicking scores. He never stops👏🏻

— Emlyn Mulligan (@emlynmulligan) December 6, 2020

Time to Split Mayo in two #mayovtipp

— Conal keaney (@ConalKeaney) December 6, 2020

Mayo workrate and finishing 🔥🔥

— Tomás Ó Sé (@tomas5ky) December 6, 2020

The skill set of the Dublin panel is the standout difference vs the rest.

Is there any Dublin player that has improved their skill set more than Michael Fitzsimons in the last number of years? Trained as a physio and retrained as a Doctor. Mindset 👏 #GAA

— John Heslin (@jheslin14) December 5, 2020

I expect this bunch of players to challenge for big prizes over the next 5 years, is 10 in a row a possibility for dub now - yes? I called for this game to me movedd from croker , bball American football if you are a weak team u get first draft pick - gaa need to change something

— Seanie Johnston (@Johnsts4) December 5, 2020

There’s an awful lot we can all do better before we start talking about money. You couldn’t give some county boards a tenner with out making a hames of it

— Eamon Mc Gee (@EamonMcGee) December 5, 2020

Clinical display from Dublin, my argument is that this Dublin financial debate is masking the conversation about how good these Dublin players are, Once in a generation players in full flow!

— Bernard Brogan (@bernardbrogan) December 5, 2020

During today’s game, hearing the commentators refer to Cavan as the Ulster Champions - Awesome! @CavanCoBoardGaa

— Conor Moynagh (@ConorMoynagh) December 5, 2020

It just becomes a bit of a joke when we are applauding the rare score against Dublin. Not to discredit them or any team that has played them of the past seasons. Something must be done from Hq. #GAA

— Ryan Mc Cluskey (@clucker60) December 5, 2020

Game felt more like a 1st round of National League than All Ireland Semi final - Not sure where football is going 👀

— Aidan O Mahony (@GmailMahony) December 5, 2020

Ulster champions... heros’s everyone of them 💙

— Martin Dunne (@13dunnie) December 5, 2020

Really feel for Galway Ladies. They arrived 20 mins before throw in and had about 5 mins to warm up for an All Ireland Semi Final due to another venue change! Equality my arse! The LGFA have so much to answer. What a shambles #jokeshop #lgfa

— Damien Comer (@DamoComer) December 6, 2020

Not to take away from Corks win today but ....... @GalwayLgfa @gbayfm @Galway_GAA @WomensGPA @IrishTimes @ConnachtGAA @clonburgaa pic.twitter.com/nTMdQp762J

Real heart in the mouth stuff at the end. Well done @FermanaghGAA Ladies 🟢⚪️

Congratulations to all the Armagh Camogie team. It is brilliant to see the team lifting this trophy. Well done to all concerned ArmaghGAA @Armaghcamogie pic.twitter.com/HSf44PEmsH

Just like to take this opportunity to announce my retirement from inter county hurling. I’d like to thank all my family, friends and teammates who supported me throughout my career. It was a dream to represent Cork. I’d like to wish Cork and my friends the best . Now for golf 😀 pic.twitter.com/qNXp5sGWCS
